SS OU Trick Room w/ DLC mons

[LoonaStan2006]

Hey guys, this is my first team that I've attempted to make ingame! I'm new to the OU scene and could use some constructive criticism.

-Future sight as sort of a last resort

Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe

Let me know what you think could make this team better, I think I'm really close to having something special. I know it is almost there because I've been winning battles with it but I think it could still use some tweaking!

This team is uh, odd. First off, iron ball alakazam? No. Don’t do that. Iron ball is a very bad item, even in trick room, and Alakazam is the 12th fastest pokemon in the game right now. Use Hatterene instead. Take Trick room, Psyshock, Shadow Ball, and Dazzling Gleam. Its base speed is 1 point lower than half of Alakazams. After iron ball. It’s a much better trick room setter. Hatterene also has 1 point of Special Attack over Alakazam, so don’t be worried about that. And if your opponent switches into a chansey, just switch.

Hawlucha is another fast pokemon, and because the way unburden works, activating Room Sevice INCREASES your speed by one stage, the opposite thing you want in trick room. This is another pokemon you’ll want to replace. I’d recommend using either Bisharp or Azumarill. Bisharp is 48 points slower than Hawlucha, and has more attack power to boot. The big drawback is its frailty, and you may want to use a focus sash over room service because of it 4x weakness to fighting. Azumarill is much bulkier,and gets access to the ability Huge Power which turns its pitiful 50 Atk into the much better 100Atk. It also gets access to belly drum, and the ability to move first for once in trick room in invaluable. Just be sure to snag a Sitrus berry.

I have no idea why you invest speed in Shuckle at all. It’s one of the slowest in the game. When dealing with a trick room team, you need to build like trick room is always up. Don’t invest in speed, invest in HP. Don’t invest in Special Attack either, that’s also terrible on this pokemon.

Why does your ditto not have Imposter as its ability? It’s like transform, but instant! And bright powder doesn’t even work after it DOES transform! Use leftovers, or Choice Scarf.

Aegislash is a great pokemon, Replace destiny bond with King’s Shield, and autotomize with Swords Dance. King’s Shield is a great move, and it resets its stance. Autotomize raises speed by two stages. THIS IS THA LAST THING YOU WANT! Use swords dance instead. Please. Plus, you should replace focus sash with leftovers now that you have King’s shield.

I really hopes this helps! Just remember, when using trick room, less speed = more speed.

well hypothetically, if this team were not a troll, its pretty damn bad, evilnarwhalwarlock give some good suggestions and a couple more, basically replace shuckle with anything, to name a few, slowbro-g could be potentially viable since it could use trick room and is decently offensive, mimikyu can also be cool with TR and SD, heracross and conk are also good abusers, and exeggutor-a has potential
